The branch of linguistics in charge of studying the smallest meaningful units of language (i.e., morphemes), their different forms, the internal structure of words, and the processes and rules by which words are formed is called:
Morphology
Syntax
Phonology
Semantics
Pragmatics
A (a) is the smallest unit of language that has a meaning or a grammatical function and form words or parts of words.
There are two types of free (or independent) morphemes.
Lexical and Functional
Grammatical and Bound
Root and Referential
Prefixes and Suffixes
Mark those which ARE NOT examples of free morphemes

-less
bold
give
Bound roots and affixes (or dependent morphemes) are
morphemes which never occur alone as words
free morphemes which have little or no meaning on their own
morphemes that constitute content (and function) words by themselves
